Manchester City fullback Wayne Bridge insists he's happy playing with Robinho on the same flank.

He told City's website: "I'm happy to play with him, he's a genuine attacking player. When I came here I knew that Robi was going to be more attack-minded than defensive.

"That's why we play three in midfield, and hopefully they can help me out as well. Obviously, I want to be playing better, and hopefully my one-on-ones will get better and Robi can do all his attacking.

"You can get exposed at full-back, two versus one. I like to do that - push on - as well, and hopefully Robi can expose the other full-back. It's a bit of cat and mouse. I want to do as well as I can and let Robi do all he can going forward."
